Hi all, Does anyone have any recent news on Westfalia Enterprises? I understand that the dealer advertises "restored to showroom condition" but that the "restoration" appears to fall short of, say, Go Westy!'s standards. But the prices also seem lower than Go Westy!'s. So what I want to know is whether the price is appropriate for what you get - which, based on the price, should be a van that is restored better than what you could expect to find in a for-sale-by-owner deal. By now I would think someone on this list has bought from here. Anybody...? Good experience or bad? Thanks, George

We bought ours last year over the autotrader.com site and it turned out to be an excellent vehicle with 79,000 original miles (on an 88). Also, GoWesty's has the classified listings which kind of combines different listings. GoWesty itself is kind of expensive since you're getting a van in top condition with a lot of reconditioning. Just saw an 88 that went for $30,000!! The Westfalia owners site gives you a good listing from all over the U.S. and Canada. This westfalia-enterprises.com sounds REALLY scary. Nice to have the list to give us a "heads up"! > >Sharon Mendonca >88 Vanagon GL >88 Westy |
